I'll be there at noonish probably with my kid in tow if you want me to autograph your 1978 Topps Dave Campbell card or need to punch me in the face or something. Fat guy drooling on the bargain box, can't miss me.

Baseballcarddatabase.com - a database of various cardage and memorabilia, as well as the owner of every (YourTeamName)cards.com address. I'll describe it as my uncle described by beard in high school: "sparse, but vigorous".

Finally, I don't do ads anytime ever period stop contacting me. But in honor of Chris Harris I'll plug this.

Sports Memories show this weekend at I-75 and Delk at the Courtyard Marriott. You'll probably see me there on Saturday assuming I don't try to take a long lunch break on Friday to grab some cardage. If you like Vintage goodies, this is the show to go to. If you have any questions on how to get there, just leave me a comment. I'll check my e-mail just this once to help out fellow vintage lovers.

A season ends where the Braves exceeded just about every expectation, overcame losing a Hall of Famer, an All-Star and half the rotation, somehow managed to hold onto a playoff spot, then lost another Hall of Famer in the playoffs. They still were within one run of the Giants every game in the playoffs even though their infield was completely different from what they started the season with and had to field a rookie at second base, right field and closer.

Yet still somehow, this team and its fans are losers and a disgrace, who have some 'splainin to do.

SOON.... One oddball Chippah from each stack that I don't think I've shown off on this blog before.

2001 Donruss Bobble Head Thingy

No the price tag isn't stuck to the card. This was included as a box topper for some bullcrap Donruss product no one cares about and was inside its own little wrapper. Why the shop owner stuck the price tag on the wrapper instead of the toploader I have no idea.

Also a boxtopper in that Donruss junk? An actual bobblehead. One that looks nothing like the actual player. You can get your own bobblehead in a box of Donruss Class of 2001 for just 130 smackers! Or not, up to you... at least the card is serial numbered to only 2000!

No time for commentary on the rest, but here's the other promised oddballs.

I'm gonna skip around a bit and show off the playoff teams out of my '82 Topps sticker album over the next week or so. Actually, this page is still in order as it is right after the Cubs who were shown last. The Reds were one of my least favorite teams growing up mainly because they beat up my Braves so often in the NL West. Now that we are both in different divisions I can appreciate them again. In fact, if the Braves can't go all the way, I'm rooting for the Reds to come out of the NL. By making this statement, I have all but assured a Giants/Phillies NLCS. Contact your bookies quickly.

As for the background image shadow person, that's gotta be Tom Seaver, right? Even with the effed up face? It sure ain't Mario Soto. Pretty much the Reds' entire pitching staff was righties with the exception of Joe Price, so I suppose it could be Frank Pastore, but why? Gotta stick with Tom here.

(heh heh, get it, stick with Tom, I made a funny)

Tom got stuck along with everyone besides Johnny Bench. I am not unhappy with this turn of events as I am far more likely to come across a stray Johnny Bench sticker in my travels instead of say, a Ron Oester. Tom Seaver is looking upon his image in the background wondering what they did to his poor face. The scan got cut off at the side as did the Concepcion sticker. I didn't realize how badly cut it was until I saw it on the page. That's like, serious Topps206 mini miscut right there. My favorite sticker on the page is George Foster, underrated slugger. We really do need to found a Hall of Very Good just so guys like George, Al Rosen and Bobby Grich can finally be honored. They're more interesting than some of the bums in the 'proper' Hall anyway.

Linking to some contests today because 1) Too busy for anything else 2) I honestly don't give a crap anymore. My time off didn't so much recharge me as bring my posting inertia to a screeching halt. Go win something.

The Great Orioles Autograph Project is holding a Playoff Bracket contest. Hint: According to all media outlets the correct answer is "Phillies beat all comers just by giving them a mean look". Bracket accordingly.

Finally Thorzul is holding his third annual Nightmares on Cardboard custom card contest. This year, he is not limiting the contest to horror movies apparently, it just needs to be on a design from 1970-1990. So as long as your naked furry artwork of a transvestite midget cowboy is shooped into a 1981 Topps design, you're all good.

Edit: Why didn't any of you slackers tell me I forgot to link Thorzul's contest??

I was going to announce the winner of my Obak contest from 40 years ago, but I ran out of time is morning. No one's really been asking for the results anyway. I'll do it tonight if anyone still cares.

ALSO: I have to start totaling up points for the Heritage Blaster Fantasy League, so you can forget abut more posts until that's done.

Dayf the Blogger has a Posse

My original crappy neglected blog what I'm trying to resurrect this year

Note on the Blogroll

If you have a blog, and it ain't on here, LET ME KNOW! There are a lot of good blogs I'm missing out on. I'm also very forgetful and sometimes forget to put it on the list even if I do find a good one. If your blog is about cards or trading or sports in general I'll fit it in, but don't try to sneak your blog about politics or cats or crop rotation in the 14th century on here.
